Circle K. Bunch of knobs describing the new brand name.

Is Circle K just a clever spin on K Hole?

Why did Topaz change there name to Circle K stupid name

I wish I'd seen the last of Ellie Goulding hitting a punchbag and giving sultry looks to the camera, also those yogurt ads where a vacuous woman shouts out something random and inadvertently causes havoc for some handsome chap near by.

Zlatan paying for your man's drink in the Visa ad has got a so bad it's good quality to it.

To be fair, you'd only know it's an older model Quasqai if you've owned or been in one yourself.
Banks are too easy targets around here. They could produce the advert of the year and people will still give out because of the impersonal nature of business they're in.

Fúck them. Pretending to look out for people but truth is they would throw them under a bus in a second

There’s a BT ad with Blue Monday by New Order on it, they seem to have done some weird mixing on it, can’t listen to it.

The AIB ads. Christ they are bad. Full of south Dubs talking ****e “ do you like your new playhouse Dylan” and the token diversity then in the new car one. Even the billboard one is for the rugger south dub brigade “ promised an away match for 8 years” ..painful..we own AIB aswell so we’re paying to advertise to ourselves

Who takes out a loan for a tree house? And how is it a tree house? Back in my day youngsters built their own tree houses, up in the trees.

And it would be more in their line to get the garden done. To get to the precious "treehouse" the annoying sprogs have to get across a surface that looks like the Somme in 1916 after a few months shelling.

The Vodafone ad with the French foreign exchange student takes the biscuit.

Unbelievable ****e.

Where the hell the vodafone come up with this life is full of first nonsense as if it relates to mobile phones in the slightest.

When did all this worthiness come into advertising mostly in the past ads tried to get your attention with humour whereas now it seems being really really earnest and caring is the way they want to go.Just a symptom I guess of the way the world has gone in general in recent years.

Bring back Sue the piglet😊

Her face is so plastic-she ruined it with procedures.

Allianz and that feckin' choir

Those Rockshore ads.... "inspired by the west...made in St James Gate" sounds funny for a start.
Then you have to see all these eejits running around in the sun. Interspersed with shots of waves of the ocean crashing against the shore.

Is that anyone that would fall for this advertising for a start how often is it sunny in the west?

Also Rockshore sounds like a name that was created by a brain-stroming session or thinktank.
It reminded me of that political party "Renua"

"This is the west...." me @rse

it's a diageo product so that's exactly what it is...

taste of the west brought to you by those on the east :rolleyes:

That bloody milk advert with the child torturing the "adult"....Laura...and the new one in the gym...

CK22

Anyone else find that Boylesports ad with Kevin Kilbane freezing time annoying. It’s on during every World Cup ad

RabbleRouser2k

The new 'Beidh Gaelige agat'....I don't even care if that's spelled wrong.

It's so pandering and trying to make Gaeilge 'kewwwllll'...

Get lost.

As many will have noted, the most offensive (and most frequent) ads on Irish TV come exclusively from the banking and insurance sectors.

I like how in this one the actor's voice breaks and sounds more unhinged as the ad goes on, most likely from the crushing weight of trying to survive in the neoliberal free market hell we've created for ourselves. Fitting.

Sorry, but the scrapey, out-of-tune Indie girl doing a depressing version of a hit song was a cliche 3 years ago. Typical @bankofireland lagging so far behind. After @Rockshorelager, possibly the most laughable ad on TV.

Grab All Association

I see the Vodafone Gaeltacht advert isn’t on anymore. Holding hands with that girl, head on her shoulders etc they were in a lesbian relationship for sure. The reason she couldn’t talk to her mother is because she was sneaking off to shift.

The new advert has a teenage boy who can’t sum up the courage to ask Frenchy out. He hasn’t fully hit puberty yet and she’d laugh at the Cheeto underneath.

Yes it's absolutely appalling. And who listened to that and said "yeah, that's it, that's what we''re looking for." Must be tone deaf. It's possibly the most off key tuneless excuse for "singing" that I've ever heard.

Sue the Piglet was lovely and cute.

Everyone else in the advert was a total 'Oh please God no-except for the 'girlfriend' or whoever she was-she was cute.

That Allianz ad, where the family car break down in the mountains somewhere near the arse end of nowhere. At the start of the ad, the mountains are shrouded in low cloud and it looks like it's going to pis, er, rain heavily. Plus, mum zips up her coat and looks like she's about to go down (Oo-err!) with hypothermia. But hey presto; the Allianz breakdown man arrives, fixes the jalopy and the family resume on their walk. At the end of which, you have bright blue skies with broken cloud. Just how far did they walk? Or maybe I'm approaching this all wrong and the message is simply that, if you're with Allianz, all bad weather disappears instantly.

This isn't an advert i despise, just one i find weird, Always (Tampons).

End Period Poverty.

You would think they could come up with a better slogan (well, I would think), but nope. That is the best that they could think of.

Turns out that it has been used for a while, but I only heard it for the first time tonight in one of their adverts.

Aside note; why aren't tampons and sanitary towels free of charge?
They're needed for necessity; it's not women's fault they require them!
Or at least reduce the price!
